Jean died on 27 June 1940.
Later Years & Work
In 1890, Arthur settled in London and began practicing as an ophthalmologist. The practice was not successful and again he turned to writing more and more. Arthur, as a writer, was always inclined towards writing historical novels and believed that the success of Sherlock Holmes came as a hurdle in this. He decided to kill the character of Sherlock Holmes and did so in the story The Final Problem in 1893. A public hullabaloo ensued and he had to bring the character back in the story The Adventures of the Empty House.
In his later career, Arthur moved on to a broader line of work and began writing about the political sphere. One of such was The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct, a pamphlet which explained the involvement of UK in the Boer war. He next wrote The Great Boer War in 1900.

These incidents pushed him into a state of depression and turned him into a spiritualist. Arthur, as a child, was an agonist and had strayed from religious nature for many years. However, by this time he had become increasingly interested and obsessed with spiritualism to the extent that he wrote a Professor Challenger novel called The Land of Mist. His next book The Coming of the Fairies, which he wrote in 1921, supported his views on spiritualism and "life beyond life". In his book The History of Spiritualism, Arthur endorsed the spirit materialization and psychic phenomena. By this time he had come to believe that the living can communicate with the dead. The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes, one of his last books, was published in 1927.

The September sun as was shining brightly into the windows of t 221B Baker Street, a rental residence in London. Holmes is the worlds only consulting detective; over the years Dr. Watson has accompanied him on his investigations and written books about their adventures in crime. Dr. Mortimer wants Holmes to examine a manuscript he has with him. Holmes says it's circa 1730. Holmes has actually written a monograph on the subject of dating manuscripts. The 1742 manuscript is a statement of the legend of the Baskerville family, written by Sir Hugo Baskerville as told to him by his father and grandfather.
Holmes begins an extensive questioning of Dr. Mortimer about the night of Sir Charles's death. He asks about the logistics of the yew bridge, the shape of both Sir Charles's and the hound's footprints, and other important details. When Dr. Mortimer mentions that he believes Sir Charles must have stood at the bridge for between five and ten minutes because he saw that ash had dropped twice from his cigar, Holmes congratulates him on his acute observation. Holmes asks if anyone has seen the hound since Sir Charles's death. Dr. Mortimer replies that three people saw it before his death but no one has seen it since.
The three men meet in Sir Henry's hotel rooms. Someone has taken one brown and now one black boot. After lunch Sir Henry repeats his intention of going to Baskerville Hall. Holmes gives Watson the instruction to write to him and give him every possible fact, not any new theories. In particular he wants to understand the neighbors, all of whom are suspects. The Barrymore’s, Dr. Mortimer's wife, Stapleton and his sister, and Mr. Frank land of Lafter Hall are all suspects.
Dr. Watson first writes about the grim atmosphere of the place and then apologizes to Holmes for being impractical. He then tells Holmes that an escaped convict named Selden is hiding on the moor. Selden is a depraved murderer. Watson is fairly sure that since there are four able-bodied men at Baskerville Hall, they are not in danger. Yet he worries about the Stapleton’s. Mr. Stapleton is a small man, and his sister is very beautiful. So beautiful and charming that she has captured the heart of Sir Henry.
Watson writes that he himself has heard the sound of the large dog baying and howling, but common sense tells him it is a real dog, not a ghost. Local peasants have reported seeing a large luminous animal with terrible teeth on the moor. They believe it to be a supernatural monster. Watson again records his sighting of a tall, thin stranger on the moor. It cannot be Frank land or Stapleton because of his height. He is convinced that he is being followed by the same.
Watson feels slighted. Surely Holmes trusted him to handle the situation in Baskerville Hall. Perhaps all his hard work and reports to Holmes were nothing but a waste. Holmes replies that he has read over Watson's reports many times and that Watson has been invaluable to him. He has had to go into hiding to close in on the murderer.
Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Lustrate take a wagon to a location near Merry pit House. They creep close enough to see that Sir Henry and Stapleton are talking and sharing cigars while they drink together. Stapleton leaves and walks to a small out-building, which he unlocks and then closes up again. He then returns to Sir Henry, who seems distraught. Beryl Stapleton is nowhere to be seen.
Sherlock Holmes gave the following summary of the case to Dr. Watson a few months later. Stapleton was the son of Sir Rodger Baskerville, who was Sir Charles's brother. Sir Rodger spent most of his life in Central America, where he married and had one son. Stapleton married Beryl Garcia. After stealing a fortune, he changed his name to Vandeleur and went to England, where he established a school in the east of Yorkshire.
Stapleton developed an international reputation as an entomologist. He moved to Devonshire with the intention of getting his family's fortune. He became a friend and neighbor to Sir Charles and Dr. Mortimer, who told him about Sir Charles's bad heart. He came up with the plan to use the family legend of the hound to kill Sir Charles.
